Dapping & Forming Flat Block — Solid Steel, 22 Polished Depressions, Jewellery Bench Tool

Sinking domes is bread-and-butter forming work, and this block keeps the whole job on one piece of steel. Its 22 polished, hemispherical depressions handle doming in silver, copper and brass sheet, while the flat faces take general forming and flattening work. If domes and beads are new territory, our guide to dapping and doming walks through the sequence.

Milled from a solid block of steel, it sits dead flat and shrugs off repeated heavy hammer blows. The profiled cut-outs along the sides give your off-hand something to hold and stop the block creeping across the bench mid-strike. A sensible first block for students and apprentices, and a space-saver for working silversmiths who would rather keep one tool out than five.

• Combines multiple polished, hemispherical depressions for doming with flat sides for general forming.
